Ok I have godaddy.com, and I was using their built in PHPMYADMIN to delete an awards table, so that I could install a mod.
THEN  I changed my Database password.

Now SMF can't access the Database!  I get this error when I go to my forum :
QuoteConnection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

The tech support at godaddy said I have to change the coding somewhere in SMF with the new password because  I "broke the string"!

What file do I need to change??
Please Help!

I'm looking at settings.php, but I don't see where I have to input a password?

MY settings.php looks very different.  What version of SMF are you using?

Mine has:

########## Database Info ##########
$db_server = 'xxx';
$db_name = 'xxx';
$db_user = 'xxx';
$db_passwd = 'xxx';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
$db_persist = '0';
$db_error_send = 1;

Its in the root of where you installed the forum.

In the root directory of your SMF installation.

Edit: Too slow.
